July 17- “Goo mooring, Madame, hell a you?”
So ends my first week of English lessons in the women’s group. I have been trying in vain to learn creole
and nothing is sticking in my brain. At
best, I have learned one phrase and i am not getting that right. “Hot, Hot” is either show-shoe or so-so or
shoe-shoe. And no matter which one I use,
I am wrong and not understood. So I
think it will be easier on all of us if they learn English. So each morning, I greet them individually
with “good morning, Madame, how are you. They return the greeting and laugh
with delight that they now speak English.
